Honduras El Jardin Pacamara Washed

The milk chocolatey, creamy, buttery, smoothness that Honduras is known for is all here, but this is a microlot from El Jardin and consists just of the very large pacamara varietal coffee beans.

El Jardin is part of collective of 40 farms that help each other out in La Paz. The tight knit community of family and friends also grow avacados and oranges. This pacamara bean is one of the largest known coffee bean varietals and has a great reputation for flavor. In very light roasts you’ll find a sweet lemon walnut, but my personal favorite is heading towards 413-415 degrees at the verge of 2nd cracks — this is where you find a sweeter than normal Honduras with that creamy-smooth traditional clean taste, a savory rosemary note, juicy red apple, and an end note of cocoa. The pacamara washed coffee out of El Jardin continues to be one of my favorite washed process Honduras year after year.

Green Honduras beans have a reputation to not keep in long term storage as well as most coffees. Potentially this lot will hold up longer because it was processed with such care and attention, packed in a grainpro bag, and were high quality beans to start with, but the typical rule of thumb is to roast Honduras coffee within 6 months, so these greens will be great until at least December.
